Greetings Haskellers,
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. I've performed the following steps:
# apt-get install ghc6
I then successfully did a local install of the Haskell platform in
~/mine/install
Now I am trying to get wxhaskell to install:
$ cabal install wx
[snip]
Configuring wxcore-0.12.1.2...
setup: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing C libraries: wx_baseu-2.8, wx_baseu_net-2.8, wx_baseu_xml-2.8
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
wx-0.12.1.2 depends on wxcore-0.12.1.2 which failed to install.
wxcore-0.12.1.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1
$ ls /usr/lib/libwx*
/usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0.6.0
/usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so
/usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0.6.0 /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0
/usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0.6.0
/usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0
It looks like the libraries are there to me! any ideas?
